Действие романа происходит в пятиде

Действие романа происходит в пятидесятых годах XIX века в приграничных районах штата Техас. Богатый плантатор Вудли Пойндекстер со своей семьей, состоящей из сына, дочери и племянника, переезжает из штата Луизиана в свой новый дом, Каса-дель-Корво.

Заблудившись на выжженной равнине, оказавшейся на пути к их новой асиенде, семья Пойндекстеров знакомится с Морисом Джеральдом, мустангером, живущим недалеко от военного форта Индж, но уроженцем северной Ирландии. Морис сразу же произвёл впечатление на всех членов семьи, но на каждого — своё. Гордый Вудли отнесся к своему спасителю с уважением, его сын Генри почти сразу полюбил его братской любовью, сестра молодого плантатора Луиза сразу полюбила мустангера, даже несмотря на его скромный общественный статус.

Племянник старика Пойндекстера, отставной капитан Кассий Колхаун в тот же миг возненавидел нового героя, отчасти из-за того, что хотел сам жениться на Луизе, а отчасти из-за своей трусости и заносчивости.

Вскоре после того, как Пойндекстеры обосновались в Каса-дель-Корво, плантатор устраивает большой приём, посвященный удачному переезду и более близкому знакомству с элитой Техаса. На этом приёме присутствует и Морис Джеральд, который взялся доставить семье плантатора два десятка диких лошадей. В соответствии с ирландским обычаем, он дарит редкого и ценного мустанга дочери плантатора, чем ещё сильнее разжигает любовь в её сердце и ненависть в душе её кузена. Теперь тот уже твёрдо решает убрать молодого мустангера со своего пути. Замыслив коварный план убийства Мориса, он решает привести его в исполнение на следующий вечер, в баре поселка, который образовался около форта Индж. Он якобы невзначай толкнул и облил ирландца, тот ответил ему тем же. Возникшая ссора заканчивается дуэлью. Колхаун явно недооценил своего противника, чем и поплатился, оставшись в живых лишь благодаря великодушию Мориса. Таким образом, победив в этой схватке, мустангер завоевал уважение местных жителей и офицеров форта, а также заставил отставного капитана панически бояться его.

Колхаун не отступает от своего плана убить Мориса, но уже не своими руками, а заплатив другому мустангеру, бандиту Мигуэлю Диасу. Диас, узнав, что индейцы вышли на тропу войны, с радостью соглашается на это дело.

В это же время, после выздоровления Мориса они с Луизой начали тайно переписываться с помощью т. н. «воздушной почты», а после, не выдержав долгой разлуки, встречаться в саду Каса-дель-Корво. После их последней встречи произошло трагическое событие. Колхаун застаёт Мориса и Луизу в саду и подговаривает брата Луизы на то, чтобы тот убил мустангера. Отчасти благодаря заступничеству Луизы, отчасти благоразумию Генри, Морису удается уйти невредимым. Молодой Пойндекстер же, выслушав сестру, решает, что поступил неразумно, и собирается догнать Джеральда и извиниться перед ним. Ночью он выезжает вдогонку за мустангером. Вслед за Генри выезжает и его кузен Кассий, но с другой целью: он знает, что завтра Морис уезжает в Ирландию, и решает убить его этой ночью.

Следующим утром, собравшись на завтрак, семья Пойндекстеров обнаруживает, что Генри, вопреки своей привычке, не встал вовремя и не пришёл на ранний завтрак. В доме его тоже не оказалось. В это время один из невольников поймал в прерии его лошадь, без всадника и измазанную кровью. Все думают, что Генри Пойндекстер убит. На поиски тела и убийцы снаряжается отряд из вооружённых плантаторов и солдат, который в своих поисках добивается определённого успеха и находит доказательства смерти юноши. Во время поисков этот отряд встречает ужасного всадника без головы. Не найдя разумной отгадки, что же это может быть, отряд едет на ночлег.

В эту же ночь Диас со своими сообщниками, переодевшись в индейцев, вторгается в жилище Мориса на Аламо с явным намерением убить его. Не застав его там, они решают подождать его в хижине. И вскоре кто-то приехал. Но не хозяин жилища, а всё тот же всадник без головы. До смерти напугавшись, бандиты быстро ретировались. Они были вторыми, кто видел таинственного всадника без головы.

Тем временем друг Мориса, Зебулон Стумп, обеспокоенный пропажей ирландца, находился в его хижине вместе со слугой Фелимом, до смерти перепуганным индейцами. Они получают записку от мустангера, которую доставила его собака Тара. Они идут в указанное место и едва успевают, убив напавшего на парня ягуара. Морис оказался сильно болен, из-за чего — неизвестно. Старый охотник Стумп и слуга мустангера Фелим отвозят юношу к своему дому, где его находит поисковой отряд. Найдя у него в хижине одежду Генри, регуляторы решают устроить суд Линча прямо на месте. Но благодаря вмешательству Зеба Стумпа, а также индейских вещей в хижине Мориса, говорящих о возможном нашествии команчей, суд удаётся отложить.

Между тем, все уверены, что Генри Пойндекстер мёртв и Морис Джеральд повинен в его смерти. В состоянии горячки он дожидается законного суда на гауптвахте форта Индж. Некоторые друзья мустангера, а именно майор, комендант форта, Спанглер, Зеб Стумп и Луиза Пойндекстер уверены, что убийство совершил не Морис, а кто-то иной. Выгадав у майора три лишних дня задержки суда, Зеб Стумп отправляется в прерию, где он твёрдо намерен найти доказательства невиновности своего друга. И он их находит, а также теперь точно знает, кто настоящий убийца и что представляет собой таинственный всадник без головы. Он докладывает обо всём коменданту форта, и все ждут суда.

Очнувшийся от помрачения ума Морис даёт показания на суде, которые заставляют многих переменить своё м
